: About Me

Reading has been a passion, fiction and non-fiction of almost any genre, as long as the writing is first rate. Story tellers who are superb word-smiths are my favorites, for fiction of course, but also to bring non-fiction to life.

I'm a "geek". From the early days of computing, when a computer with considerably less power then today's cell phones took up a whole floor of a large office building, to today's Web 2.0, I enjoy technology because it constantly changes.

Early on, most of my "on-the-job" writing was highly technical.  As my career progressed, broader topics of general business management, and the impact of technology on a firm's direction, became my forte.  Retired now from a position as director of technology management for a major investment firm.

I've been involved in politics, both as a candidate, and helping others with their campaigns. Position papers and speeches were sometimes successful, sometimes not. Oh well.

From time-to-time, I've experimented with writing outside of work and politics. Encouraged by family members and friends, several of whom have been published, I've decided to make a concentrated effort to spread my writing wings.

Now's the time to see if I can write well enough to please myself, while adding value and providing enjoyment for my readers. It will be a learning experience, so let me know how you think I'm doing.
